Great Plate Holiday 2015 Giveaway!!

The Great Plate Holiday 2015 Giveaway!!!

Great Plate Red and Green Plates in useBack in April I had the opportunity to review Great Plate and see just how durable and how versatile they were (previous review here). I mentioned that to be able to have my food and drink near me on the couch and not spill due to cats jumping down was a bonus and a great feature of the Great Plate. It is 7 months later and the plates look brand new, despite being used every week or two. The color is just as vibrant and the plate is just as level as it was then – it is our “go-to” plate for chips and guacamole

Ozeri Green Earth Pan Review

Ozeri – Green Earth Pan Review and Giveaway

Ozeri Green Earth PanI have discovered as I have been learning to cook that it is not preferable to cook everything in the same pan, despite the ease of dishes with this scenario. Recently we received a very belated housewarming gift (over 3 years later) of an entire set of pots and pans. This set included a small pan, and a large as well as 3 pots ranging in size from super small to spaghetti size, as well as included lids. This is the only official “set” we have and other pans and pots are a Hodge-podge mix of hand me downs.

Now, I have discovered as I have been learning to cook that it is not preferable to cook everything in the same pan, despite the ease of dishes with this scenario. The need has finally arisen that we need more pans as the cooking competence level increases in this house.

Innoo Tech: Stainless Steel Garlic Press Review and Giveaway

Innoo Garlic Press Box ContentsThere is a list in our house. This list consists of the items that we want to add to our ever-expanding arsenal of cooking supplies and tools. I have learned recently that I really love adding garlic to just about anything I make on the stove or oven. The problem I encounter the most with garlic is the peeling and then getting it sliced to the proper allotments for cooking that make Jason and I happy.

When I received an offer to review Innoo Tech’s Garlic and Ginger Press I literally said YES to my computer screen. I did not know really what to expect given this would be my first use of a press of any kind. When I received and un-packaged the press it was compactly packaged with a plastic covering, as well as an instruction booklet.

Ozeri Savore Electric Pepper Grinder Review

Ozeri – Savore – Electric Pepper Grinder ReviewOzeri Savore Pepper Grinder

I am a recent at home chef. I had always been the girl who burns macaroni and cheese, and one side of her grilled cheese is considerably darker than the other side. The wind is changing where cooking is concerned and recently I have made the discovery that I actually like my own cooking more than eating out. This is not say that eating out does not have its benefits, but I would rather eat at home.

Since this revelation Jason and I have been like hunter and gatherers when it comes to kitchen gadgets. We scour the retail stores, online companies and the food channel for new toys and accessories that can be used in home cooking. I have wanted a pepper grinder for cooking and as luck would have it, I had the opportunity to review Ozeri’s Savore Electric Pepper Grinder.

Ozeri Savore Pepper GrinderThe Ozeri Savore Electric Pepper Grinder has a combination of stainless steel and a black matte finish that coordinates with almost any kitchen or table. There are 3 size settings depending on how big you would like your pepper kernels – large (used in marinating when big pieces are wanted to flavor), medium (used in marinades) and small (this is perfect for the pepper garnish on meals).

The grinder is a bit difficult to unscrew. The reason that you need to unscrew it is for the loading of the 6 AAA batteries and the pepper kernels. This is a twist system that can be a bit difficult to loosen and I did worry I would push it to far and snap it – my advice is to be careful and do not go past the lock icons on the grinder. I was taken aback by the use of 6 batteries and worried about the weight. I was pleased that this did not add any additional weight or make the grinder feel awkward.

Ozeri Savore Pepper GrinderI am pleased with this new addition to our kitchen collection and it matches the environment in which it resides. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable, easy to use, attractive looking pepper grinder.
